She sat staring into space, laughing to herself, at first I was a bit surprised, could she be reading my thoughts I wondered? I was cooking up a perfect lie to tell in my mind before taking aback by her hysterical laugh, never thought such a beauty could be insane but then she is. She faces the consequences of her infidelity they said.
I couldn't place a meaning to that word until I was told her story, she was the youngest wife of Azata king, the ancient kingdom known for all sort of sorcery. She came from the clan of Dufite where every maiden must marry as a virgin, this means she got married to the king a virgin.
A young teen she was, forced into marrying an old man of '80s who could barely lift himself to walk not to talk of performing marital duties. At the first year of her marriage, she could bear the hunger of being touched by a man but for how long would she stay like a nun, as years passed the king keeps getting weaker, she invariably turned to a nanny nursing an old king.
Sooner than later, a young male servant was employed in the palace, he was so handsome that even the blind can see his looks, every lady in the palace admired him, the kings youngest wife inclusive. As time passed they started getting along, one thing led to the other they became lovers and the unimaginable happened, the day the young man made her a woman was the day she lost her sanity.
It was later discovered that the king had placed a curse on her, should any man enter her, let her run mad instantly, that was how the poor pretty became the street keeper. No one offered to help her not even her people, they concluded she got what she deserved.
Was it really her fault? How can she quench the fire that burns inside her which only a manly touch could subdue, for how long was she expected to stay chaste even though she is married. That was the height of wickedness I thought but then what can I do, I present her matter to you, help me proffer solution to this injustice.
Who will save the poor bride, will she remain mentally deranged forever?
